So you don't do measurements ? I find just looking at myself a really tricky way to judge whether I lost weight. One of the most interesting things I ever learned about dieting is that it can take up to a year for your brain to come to terms with the slimmer you. I always used to think I was fatter than I was. Thinking 'I will never fit into this' when I picked up a pair of pants was very common when I first lost weight. Now I'm pretty good at picking out clothes that fit.
So you just see yourself fatter than you are in reality. I try to combine the two (weighing and measuring), especially when I excercise a lot while dieting. Sadly I'm really horrible at keeping it (measuring) up, it just takes too much time
